Day 53 Rest day in Breckenridge

Today is going to be a lazy day. I had the bike serviced a few days ago but think perhaps it was me that needed the service!  So far today I have been to the Post Office, lounged around at Starbucks and bought some stuff at the Patagonia shop to replace the cheap Walmart stuff that I will now use for bike cleaning.

On going stomach issues but some of the group have been affected by the Altitude. Greg has had to drop down to Denver for a couple of days, Luckily he had a family visit that made this possible. Some of the others have gone cycling! Are they Mad?.  As I write AJA by Steely Dan is playing. One of my favourite Dan tracks.

This is very much a tourist town with far too much retail therapy temptation. Also very expensive compared to the America that we've passed through. Need to move on soon.

I shall probably spend the rest of the afternoon in the Health Spa where there is a hot tub, sauna, steam room and some excetcise equipment that I will NOT be using.

  1. Robert, if you get chance email me a half way progress report (300 words or so) and a high res pic and we'll send something out to local media about how far you've got and how much money raised so far.

    Cheers
